I am originally from Miami Beach, Florida and I was most recently working as a library page and school librarian in the Kansas City, Kansas area. I will be working at the Educational Resource Center as the Acquisitions &amp; Fiscal Assistant. Other than that, I love to run in my spare time, perform in opera and musical theatre productions, and visit as many art museums as possible, which I hope to do once I am more settled in Boston! I also love to read, of course, and one of my most recent reads was <em>Crying in H Mart<\/em> by Michelle Zauner leader of the Grammy-winning alternative pop group Japanese Breakfast, . The book was phenomenal and has made me cry everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Clark Geiling, Day Supervisor, Bapst Library<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Photo.jpeg\" alt=\"Photo portrait of person facing camera with glasses, short brown hair, and beard, in green and blue striped shirt against a granite wall background\" class=\"wp-image-2152\" width=\"250\" height=\"238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Photo.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Photo-300x285.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><figcaption>Clark Geiling, Day Supervisor, Bapst Library<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Hi all! My name is Clark Geiling and I am the new Daytime Supervisor for Bapst Library. My office is located in O\u2019Neill, so I will likely be bouncing back and forth between the two libraries. I previously worked at Smith College as the Evening Supervisor for Access Services and I am currently pursuing an MLIS at Simmons. When not at the libraries, I can be found working on an embroidery project, picnicking on Boston Common, or watching cozy mysteries with my beloved tortoiseshell cat, Beatrix. My most recent read is Virginia Woolf\u2019s \u201c<em>The Waves<\/em>\u201d, which I greatly enjoyed and would heartily recommend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"285\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Beatrix-1-285x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Brown and black tortoiseshell cat staring intently at something through a window\" class=\"wp-image-2172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Beatrix-1-285x300.jpeg 285w, https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Beatrix-1.jpeg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\" \/><figcaption>Beatrix, Night Supervisor, Clark&#8217;s House<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lida Supernaw, Evening Supervisor, Bapst Library<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lida-Supernaw1163_crop.jpg\" alt=\"Photo portrait of person with long brown hair in black and white outfit, with glasses, against a dark background\" class=\"wp-image-2151\" width=\"273\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lida-Supernaw1163_crop.jpg 546w, https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lida-Supernaw1163_crop-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 273px) 100vw, 273px\" \/><figcaption>Lida Supernaw, Evening Supervisor, Bapst Library<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Hello everyone! My name is Lida Supernaw, and I\u2019m from the Virginia suburbs outside of Washington, DC. Prior to working at BC Libraries, I worked at the National Gallery of Art in DC and the academic library at Georgetown University, before I completed my Masters at BC. Patrons at BC will find me behind the circulation desk at O\u2019Neill Library, as well as over at Bapst Library. I don\u2019t have any pets right now, but I grew up with two cats who were so different, you wouldn\u2019t know they were siblings. One was a tortoiseshell, the other was patterned like a tuxedo and the size of a small adult beagle. Since I just finished my graduate degree in Ancient Greek and Latin, the last book I read that wasn\u2019t Herodotus, Thucydides, or Livy was a book on the localization between the English and Japanese versions of the original <em>Legend of Zelda<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Emmanuel Sosa Alvarado, <\/strong>Day Supervisor, Social Work Library<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/emmanuel.jpg\" alt=\"A smiling person with short brown hair, a gray wool cap, a moustache, green hoodie, and brown leather jacket in front of a background of a basketball court in a stadium\" class=\"wp-image-2163\" width=\"229\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/emmanuel.jpg 457w, https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/emmanuel-241x300.jpg 241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 229px) 100vw, 229px\" \/><figcaption>Emmanuel Sosa Alvarado, Day Supervisor, Social Work Library<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Hello Everyone! My name is Emmanuel Sosa Alvarado. I am the new Daytime Library supervisor for the School of Social Work. I am originally from San Juan Puerto Rico. I have worked in libraries since my undergraduate years at the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras campus. My most recent position was as an evening library supervisor at the Fineman &amp; Pappas Law Library at Boston University. While at the SWL I will be handling the day-to-day management of the library and the student assistants as well as working with Course Reserves, Canvas instruction, technology, and student employment. I love to walk everywhere and get lost exploring new places. My current and most recent reads would be the graphic novel <em>MAUS<\/em> by Art Spiegelman and <em>The Black Jacobins<\/em> by C.L.R. James. Both are amazing reads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This summer we&#8217;ve welcomed four new employees to keep Bapst Library, the Educational Resource Center, and the Social Work Library functioning at peak performance.
